Air Cargo Security Act

Air Cargo Security Act - Amends Federal aviation law to require the screening of cargo that is to be transported in passenger aircraft operated by domestic and foreign air carriers in interstate and intrastate air transportation (currently, only those transported by all-cargo aircraft).

Sets forth certain measures to increase the safety and security of air cargo, including the establishment of systems that: (1) are capable of providing an unbroken, verifiable record of custody of cargo transported in interstate and intrastate air transportation, and that every person having custody of such cargo from the time it leaves the shipper until it is loaded aboard the aircraft is known and properly certified; (2) provide the certification of shippers and cargo transportation service providers that includes the assignment of an encrypted identifier that must be presented to domestic and foreign air carriers before cargo may be accepted for shipment; and (3) provide for the regular inspection of shipping facilities for cargo shipments.
